I usually take a bit from a live pig, so -3

[–] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

45

I prefer my bacon in a gluon soup form..

10 through 18 look like the bristolstool chart

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Does the bacon reassemble itself between 9 and 10?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

4-6, depending on the type of bacon.

[–] eightys3v3n@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I want it to stand horizontal if I hold the end :p

[–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

That's what she said

[–] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

It should snap like a potato chip, not a French fry.

This is the way. 6 can make a bad day great.

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

2-5 are acceptable. Softer bacon is better than crispier bacon and I don’t care who I offend

[–] socsa@piefed.social 12 points 2 days ago

It depends on the dish. Like Chinese pork belly should melt in your mouth, not break your teeth. But on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, the bacon needs to bring the texture.

3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease. This is not an acceptable bacon. 2 for sandwiches, 4 or 5 for plain eatin

Edit:

I've been vegan for 10 years and I still miss 2-3 style bacon. Vegan bacon does a good job if you like Canadian bacon and/or 4-6 on this chart, but nobody has made fatty vegan bacon that's good around 2-3 cookedness

I like mine fossilized.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

I'll have a uuuuuuhhhh #14 with side of ketchup

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

3-5. Thats the sweet spot.

Cremated. I would like my bacon cremated.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 6 points 2 days ago

Please ask the chef to restrict airflow so that I may use my bacon to heat my forge.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Is there a 4.5 option? Although 6-7 are the tastiest. I love charred food and burnt pizza

[–] RevolverSly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago
[–] realitista@lemmus.org 5 points 2 days ago

5 is where it's at boys. Max crisp, no burning.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

I can never decide between 15 or 16

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

1 is literally just raw. I like both crispy bacon and chewier bacon, but only if the fat is completely rendered.

I'd say either 4 or 17 deoending on how much carbon I'm looking for.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 2 days ago

Indexes start at 0

There's a huge gap between 5 and 6. That's where I live.

[–] SnapdragonBeehive@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Food with charcoal is kinda dangerous to eat.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's bacon. Processed meat is a WHO Group 1 carcinogen, it's "known to cause cancer", I'm not sure how much the charcoal changes things.

It's also considered red meat for the purposes of the Group 2A carcinogens, where red meat "probably" causes cancer.

Not sure what your concern is with charcoal but eating bacon on a regular basis is already living on the edge.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago
  1. Maybe even 2. I'd have to see it in person.
[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago
  1. But carryover cooking means by the time I get a piece it’s a 5.
[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

3 or 5 they're two different moods. 4 is too in the middle for me.

1.5 gang, rise up!

[–] fedikitty@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Between 4 and 5 is actually good.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

activated bacon isn't real, it can't hurt you

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Activated bacon can save you from poisoning though
